it the forerunner of our long delayed au- 
tumnal storms. 
I should not have noticed this publicly, 
but for the hope of Eliciting further no- j

means some idea of its extent may be! 
formed.

* At Cincinnati, the wind, during the day, \ 
Was from the N. W. The atmosphere was re-1 
nvarkably transparent, ns it had been for sever¬ 
al days, the temperature cool, and agreeable. 
The lights, too, as already noticed by us, were 
permanent a little E. of north, but displayed 
cast and west of this point; running most con¬ 
stantly west to the extreme N. W. like a rapid 
running fire, throwing up streams successively 
till the whole heavens would be covered with a 
sheet of light.
